There are two types of tickets to attend an awards dinner silver and gold the gold tickets are $8 more than the silver if Patrick bought 10 tickets at each level and spent a total of $140 find the price of each ticket
Let's assume the price of a silver ticket is x dollars.
Therefore, the price of a gold ticket is x + $8.
If Patrick bought 10 silver tickets, he spent a total of 10 * x dollars.
If Patrick bought 10 gold tickets, he spent a total of 10 * (x+ $8) dollars.
The total amount spent by Patrick is 10 * x + 10 * (x + $8) = $140.
Expanding the equation, we get 10x + 10x + 80 = $140.
Combining like terms, we get 20x + 80 = $140.
Subtracting 80 from both sides of the equation, we get 20x = $60.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 20, we get x = $3.
Therefore, the price of a silver ticket is $3 and the price of a gold ticket is $3 + $8 = $11. Answer: \boxed{3, 11}.
